ABC pulls plug on finished reality show

Reality shows make the baby jesus sad...

what were they thinking is right...
you KNOW that whatever family didn't get picked would claim it was racist.

🙂

 

Instead, they have a rainbow coalition of choices: a black family; a Hispanic family; an Asian family; two gay white men who've adopted a black boy; a couple covered in tattoos and piercings; a couple who met at the woman's initiation as a witch; and a white family where mom is a stripper.

Wow, they just described my floor. Too much for redneck America I guess.

Yup in this PC age, ABC would be sued and fined into bankruptcy

My god, TV just sucks and sucks and sucks. The worst thing about this is that they have done focus groups, analyzed Nielsen ratings and whatever else they do to decide what people like to watch, and apparently this is it. They don't call it the idiot box for nothing.

I completely see why ABC liked the show. It sounds like a great idea. It would have to be executed very, very precisely to not upset anyone though....

Apparently they didn't do it well enough.
